Master of Maritime Engineering

The Master of Maritime Engineering is designed for qualified engineers who want to build specialist knowledge in the maritime sector.

If you’re a professional engineer with a 4-year bachelor’s degree in any engineering discipline, this program can change the course of your career even if you’ve had limited exposure to the maritime engineering sector.

During your course, you'll gain expertise in areas including naval architecture, fluid mechanics, marine and offshore systems, project planning, research and engineering management. You'll learn how maritime vessels and systems are designed, developed and managed, and build the skills needed to lead complex engineering projects.

This degree is Australia's only specialist Maritime Engineering master's program at this level and has been developed to help engineers transition into maritime-focused technical and leadership roles. This course is currently under review for accreditation by Engineers Australia.

Coursework is designed for working engineering professionals so you can choose when and where you engage with content and complete assessments. You'll learn through interactive online study materials developed by experienced maritime engineers and researchers. Domestic students can complete the course fully online, but on-campus learning opportunities are also available through the Australian Maritime College (AMC) in Launceston.

Admission to most postgraduate coursework courses at the University of Tasmania require qualifications equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree. Applicants must achieve the required grade in their qualifying studies, meet any prerequisite subjects, and meet English language requirements to be eligible for an offer.
